SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Coleman, Wales head coach: (On opponents Cyprus)

"They'll be looking for something in Wales. It'll be another tough game. Great game, good game, two good teams. Again, I'm not going to apologise if at times we're not very pretty. I'm not interested. All I want is the result, all we need is the result."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Coleman, Wales head coach: (On the state of his squad following an injury crisis)

"Bare bones, but there's enough about this group, there's enough team spirit. Team spirit isn't enough to win games, but without it you don't win either. So you need it, we've got it. There's a lot of courage in this group and we've got enough to be positive going into this game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Coleman, Wales head coach: (On the local crowd)

"It's a Monday night, it's a school night so that may have an impact, I don't know. All I can say is please, please come back and support us. We need them behind us. They were right behind us form the first minute to the last (against Bosnia). I've never seen a team applauded off like that when they have not won. I think they realised we are a committed bunch of players and they've responded to that."
